Hello guys
I used the mini tools to root my phone.
Installed BLN kernel without any problem.
My phone is on I8190LUBAMA1 and CSC I8190LZTOAMA1
i was looking at samsung-updates.com and saw some other firmwares newer than my stock.
Is it safe to download and install the firmware I8190LUBAMG2 ? Is marked as an Mexican firmware(I live in Brazil).
Installing this new firmware, do i lose cmw, root?
Thanks
Sergio

Hi Sergio, it is safe to install the mentioned firmware, however, consider that you are going to lose CWM and root. Furthermore, as the firmware is Mexican, it contains local apps. So, if you are planning to move to this new firmware I suggest you to after do it install the cwm again through Odin and then a Custom Rom in order to get rooted again and remove those local apps. Regards
Reyesteban,
So if i install this firmware, it will update kernel and baseband, right?
Later, when i install a custom rom the kernel and baseband will be keeped from the mexican firmware?
The installation for the Mexican Firmware should be done via Odin? or i could use CMW?

The Firmware, as it is an official one, replaces kernel, baseband and even the boot screen and you just can install it through Odin. And you are right, when installing the custom rom, kernel and baseband will keep the same. However, boot, rom apps and look&feel are going to change...
I revently took the methods in this forum to update through the OTA while keeping root. However, I'm not sure the OTA updated my baseband, Could someone with the newest firmware please tell me the baseband version?
I flashed CWM on my xt1064 and want to restore stock recovery.
All the threads I find are for the US model restoring the entire firmware, which I don't think will work due to modem differences, etc.
Does anyone have a link to the Canadian stock recovery?
Thanks!
I have a rooted xt1068 running on 4.4.4, Bootloader unlocked, System version 21.11.14.titan_retaildsenall.en.03, Build number KXB21.85-14.
I do not have a pre root recovery backup.
I can't flash stock firmware from stock recovery for some reason. I am using the firmware links posted on xda.
Somebody please tell me what to do to get the official OTA
Does above know where I can get the stock 4.4.2 zip file? I had to downgrade and i can't update to 4.4.2 since I don't have a valid AT&T sim any longer
